Tips and questions

Can I use instant or jumbo oats?: Yes. Quick oats are ready in 2–3 minutes; jumbo oats need closer to 10 and a little more liquid.
Is porridge gluten-free?: Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often contaminated with wheat, so buy oats labelled gluten-free.
Can I reheat leftover porridge?: Yes, within 2 days. It sets firm in the fridge, so loosen it with a splash of milk while reheating.
